Things are progressing nicely on the M3 front with Gintani recently recording 828 horsepower at the crank in a manual E90 M3. The car has a low compression built motor (compression will not be revealed at this time) and hit 16.5 psi of boost from a Vortech YSI. The blower has more in it and could likely be overspun to the 22 psi range but for now 828 horsepower at 16.5 psi is very impressive and more than anyone has made up until today. Expect to see more out of these Stage III cars, like BimmerBoost's own project M3, in the next few weeks.

As an S65 supercharger owner, it pains me to see any S65 motor blow...and I really hope in this case it didn't.

You're still on this? How many times do you have to be told the same car with the same motor is getting turbos?

You can't pick up a phone, send an e-mail, or go down there? You have several options.

I already answered this for you multiple times yet you continue negative speculation.

IN case you haven't noticed, Gintani's "forum behavior" is remain quiet, post when we release a new product with specific details, and that's it. More often then not, when they've posted anything they let the craftsmanship + results speak for themselves and it's forum members and/or Sticky (putting it on the Home Page here on BB) that really builds up "awareness" of Gintani's newest accomplishment

Exactly they just let the product speak. They learned their lesson trying to share their products and enter into discussion on the "other" site when fanboys bashed the hell out of it baselessly. You know, saying things like the motor had to blow blah blah blah.

You can tell me 123891798235 times and i dont give a $#@! because I dont necesarily believe the things you say. Oh, and last year I did call ESS, VF (through EAS), Gintani and AA and spoke with people at track events with S/C M3's to help educate myself on the different product offerings.

If you don't believe me then why don't you call and confirm it? See if I'm just lying to you because I enjoy amusing myself. Ask if the motor is blown or if it is getting turbos.

You can even GO DOWN THERE and verify if you don't believe me. At this point, it's on you.

You can probably make an educated guess by looking at the ESS VT3 dynos & then factoring in the extra boost the Gintani kits run. It's certainly not the most accurate way of measuring the Gintani Stage 3 HP, but outside of calling them that's probably the best way to come up with a number.
